    Did UK people smoke much more back then? I recently went on vacation to Germany and was appalled at how acceptable it is there. Here in the Netherlands we have a program called “Smoke-free generation”, which forbids smoking in places that children often visit, such as schools and sports fields. From what I heard, the bottom kinda fell out when vaping became popular under teenagers.

      Never come to South East Asia lmao. China, SK, Japan have been taking measures, like its banned in most hotels and restaurants now, but theres so many restaurants in Japan that are grandfathered in and literally everyone smoking, hotels in China that are technically apartments or something to skirt the law, and people smoking in the streets even when its banned.

      Yes, loads. I think you could still smoke on planes but not totally sure. Absolutely nobody vaped it was all ciggies, and they were WAY cheaper. There weren’t the scary signs on them, they had branded packs and loads more people smoked. I remember the smoking ban in pubs coming in, it was controversial
